So you are one of those last word type of people eh? They are ethic Indians. They may also be Thai citizens or have dual nationality. Grow up. And again you are making assumptions but of course will not stop

My friend flew the non stop Thai airways flight once from Los Angeles. Sorry but 17 hours on a plane is too much. I typically fly from LAX with a brief 2 or 3 hour layover in Taiwan. 12 + hour flight, then about 3 hour flight on to BKK. I am fine with the flight being in two parts. Did through Japan once and that is like 10 hours to Japan, then 6 hours to Bkk.

yeah. Likely some foreign money guy or group think they can standardize things, make it flashy. There are so many fine massage places all over town that are owned and run by Thais. I also knew a few that employed Thais but the shop was owned by a foreigner. Up near Soi Yume across from that Pink condotel was one for example. Two Thai girls basically lived in that shop and manned it all day long. It was owned by a foreign guy

I never said they could not be Thai citizens. You are making a very hasty generalization and assuming things. Typical of many people these days

It is easy to make promises when there are no consequences for not fulfilling them,

I tried a lot of dating in the Los Angeles area. Whoo boy. Not much cerebral went on there. And this current generation is so material based, I want this, I want that. They can't imagine walking a mile to a friend's house as we did as kids. Writing a letter? Short conversations on a dial phone instead of constant thumbing on x or twitter or whatever

ha. I know of a few that are plain and simple immigration doorways. The Owner gets the Indians in as required cooking experts, or cultural experts, etc. I do not have a firm figure on how much they charge the then migrant person or his parents to act as his sponsor to get him in. What I really don't get is how in every Indian place I went in to a few years ago, the server/waiter was Indian. I thought those sort of jobs had to be done by Thais

"Can't get a woman" you ask. hmm. well it certainly is easier to get a date in Thailand. Is that getting a woman? Is that getting a soul mate? Is that getting somebody you really want to have children with and that has similar background, experiences religion as him? Is that getting someone that you can talk to about life, philosophy, maybe technical things or cultural things you both grew up with? I doubt it. But as one gets older, one sometimes compromises.

seems to me that it would be relatively easy to get a med certificate? Similar for many other prescriptions that some pharmacies required, such as Cialis I think many drug stores now want a prescription? I am pretty sure there are many clinics that will certify things for you

Today I had 800 USD casino credit for stores inside hard rock casino Tampa Florida. I looked at some watches that might look nice when dressing up and going out. I decided against. It made no sense to get a fancy watch as a piece of jewelry to tell time? I get the flash the rolex thing, look afluent, etc. Frankly means little to me. I have no jewelry and will stay quite happy with my 8 USD watch.

A friend of mine is making his first trip to Thailand and Pattaya. He is looking for a tailor in Pattaya that makes extra large linen shirts. He will be there July 11-25. Anybody recommend such a place? Thanks

It used to be much better up into the early 200s. In low season really no traffic and one could easily cross second road. It had all I wanted or needed. Still has attraction to me and I have not given up on it yet. But the latest thing with those potential taxation, foreign income, global income, etc.. Well depending how that shakes out would be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I would simply not risk staying over 180 days in country in a given year and would plan my full retirement years around that.

i know. I been going since 2004. Interestingly some of the real old timers tell me those little hollow gullys on the side of the streets such as Soi 7 and Soi 8 used to be for raw sewage and grey water. Now, the growth of hotels has far outpaced the water and sewage treatment facilities

well, Thailand over built as they prepped for the previous mass tourism. So many little places put out of business. Like so many things, Thais rush to every new shiny thing or attempt to make money or a living. Remember when the fish tank clean your feet and legs thing started? Nothing basically wrong with that but they do it to excess. Should follow buddhism precepts and do things more in moderation

I wear an armitron 8 USD digital watch I bought at K Mart, yes a K Mart many years ago. Now and then when accosted by the grope, distract and pickpocket thieves they see the watch and walk away. Has happened twice.
